In an 11-year study by scientists at the Brigham and Womens Hospital in Boston, there was a strong positive correlation found between degeneration of kidney function and consumption of aspartamecontaining diet soda. Published in the Clinical Journal of the American Society of Nephrology, the study followed 3,318 women for a number of years as they consumed diet soda containing artificial sweeteners like Aspartame. Scientists took into account each participants age, blood pressure, smoking habits (when applicable), and pre-existing conditions like heart disease or diabetes, and administered food frequency questionnaires in 1984, 1986, 1990, 1994, and 1998. Two or more diet drinks daily, it was found, led to a doubled risk in fastpaced kidney decline. A separate study published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition showed that, contrary to safety claims made by the manufacturers of aspartame, health-related lymphoma concerns including still abound. non-Hodgkin While study and leukemia
authors at Brigham and Womens Hospital and Harvard Medical School admitted that there were other variables to consider, such as the sex of the consumer in that particular case, they remained troubled by the risks associated with diet soda. Its worth noting that diet soda is also high in sodiumand in greater amounts than found in sodas sweetened with sugar or corn starch (which were not examined in either study).

I read an article 19 years ago about how bad Aspartame is, and that it causes all kinds of health problems, including sterility in w omen. I brushed it off, thinking, "Oh, w hat a bunch of hysterical rubbish", and continued to BUY my large jars of NutraSw eet and use it in EVERYTHING that I cooked, ate or drank! Then, at the young age of 43, I w ent into MENOPAUSE! My mother and grandmother w ent w ell into their fifties before hitting menopause! I'm inclined to believe it is the truth! There's also evidence that Aspartame causes nerve breakdow n, thus contributing to Parkinson's Disease. Look at Michael J. Fox...the diet Pepsi spokesman for a few years. If he drank as much diet Pepsi as he claims to have drank, that also creates suspicion. ANYTHING that is created in a lab and man-made is suspect. So, sugar is FAR less danger...

Aspartame is one of the most toxic substances ever Approved by the FDA. It's an excitotoxin and meaning it stimulates brain cells to death. Any one w ith any good sense w ill avoid it.

I have in the recent past had "references to Snopes.com" repudiated. It seems that someone over there is rew riting articles to aid the disinformation machine to keep us all confused. Please educate yourselves and use Snopes responsibly. We know that Aspartame is toxic and Snopes naysaying this is leading me to not trust them anymore, as they say "the w riting is on the w all".
